  9. Summary of I.U. AGAPE Love as a Problem Solving Device in the face of Betrayal.

  10. 10. Without I.U. Love, you will never have any good human relationships, because you have no basis for perpetuating them apart from virtue.

  11. 11. I.U. Love for all mankind is the ultimate expression of the transfigured life. 1 John 4:7-21; Rom 12:1-3.

  12. 12. You will love those who are known or unknown, friend or foe, attractive or repulsive, loving or hateful, appreciative or antagonistic.Lev 19:18; Mat 5:44-48, 19:19, 22:39; Mark 12:31; Luke 6:27-35; Rom 13:9; Gal 5:14-18.

  13. 13. You cannot have I.U. Love for people until you are properly motivated through PDS # 7, which also means you love His Word, (PSD #4).

  14. Gal 5:14,“For the entire Law is fulfilled in one word, in the doctrinal principle, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’”

  15. 1 John 3:23,“Furthermore, this is His mandate, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us."

  16. 9. Sharing the Perfect Happiness of God.(+H)

  17. Just as God is Love, God is Happy.John 17:13

  18. Perfect God can only possess perfect happiness. It cannot be tarnished or in any way challenged or destroyed.

  19. God's happiness cannot be disappointed or frustrated by the failure of anyone or any thing.

  20. Your +H is not dependent on pleasure, success, social life, marriage, sex, love, health, etc.

  21. God's happiness is based on who and what He is, not who and what man is.

  22. God is happy and has always been happy for all eternity; He has never been unhappy.

  23. God's happiness is related to His divine power and immutability. Nothing can destroy or change the happiness of God.

  24. Your +H should be based on who and what God is in you, and not based on people, environment or situations.

  25. There is no pain, adversity, tragedy, or difficulty greater than God’s perfect happiness in your soul! Job 5:17a, 19-27

  26. The key to true happiness is a change in our mental attitude.

  27. Never confuse +H, as taught in the Bible with the various stimuli of life, which are enjoyable for the moment, but have no ability to sustain us in daily living.
